The European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition, which hosted its inaugural event here just six years ago with relatively modest ambitions, has blossomed into what some exhibitors now regard as the most important event on their show calendar.

Cessna Aircraft chairman, president and CEO Jack Pelton, standing next to a freshly signed contract for hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Citation twinjets, said the show is important because it provides ready access to the European market, as well as to customers from the Middle East, Russia and Asia who make the trip here to Geneva but don’t show up at the NBAA Convention in the U.S. “EBACE is certainly very high value,” he said. “We like the way it’s been organized and we particularly like having the airplanes so close to the exhibit halls.”
